Pablo Neruda liked helicopters

Pablo Neruda liked helicopters 01/01/2005 04:30 PM

One of the delights of Valparaiso is visiting La Sebastiana, one of the houses owned by Pablo Neruda.  In addition to his fondness for Communism, Stalinism, Stalin, Castro, and accumulating property (the guy owned a lot of prime real estate throughout Chile), Neruda asked that a rooftop heliport be incorporated into the design of his 1961 Valparaiso house.

p.s.  Happy New Year to all!  The fireworks display last night in Valpo/Vina was the largest that I have ever experienced and filled the harbor across a stretch of several miles with rockets from maybe 20 barges.  Chileans know how to throw a good party.

Picasso the GUI Designer

Picasso the GUI Designer 04/19/2004 07:01 AM

Robert McLaws is working on Vi sual Blogger 2004, a blog editor client for Windows.

Nice, but am I the only one who think Office 2003 GUI looks crappy?  Why are smart developers mimicking madness?  Eye-candies that distracts more than enhances user experience are not eye-candies but eye-sores.  And what's with all those bright colors?  Most people don't live and work in Gap stores and the real world is definitely not Technicolor.  Are Windows GUI designers Lego fanatics?

Think of colors as emotions.  Splattering emotions carelessly is annoying to users just as talking seriously to a guy wearing a clown suit is.  Take it easy, tone it down, and think twice before you start ejaculating colors like Picasso on LSD.

BoingBoing reader Jamie McCarthy writes

"Hi Xeni, re this story you blogged last year -- Take a look at this:

On Feb. 5, 2003, Negroponte sat next to Colin Powell for his historic speech to the U.N. urging multilateral war. That evening, at 10:51:58 PM EST, that photo of Negroponte was snapped, in front of the Guernica reproduction but far enough to its left that the curtain apparently did not stretch (or maybe the curtain had been removed that late in the evening). Now, a year later, that photo ended up on the homepage of the Coalition Provisional Authority. You can verify the timestamp in Photoshop by opening the JPEG, going to File Info, clicking Advanced, and looking at the XMP Core Properties. Small world...

Larry Clark: Punk Picasso

Larry Clark: Punk Picasso 03/31/2005 09:34 AM
The Cheerful Transgressive Ever since 1971, when Larry Clark published Tulsa, an austere series chronicling his meth-shooting pals in sixties Oklahoma, Clark has made it his mission to document teenagers at their most deviant, their most vulnerable, their most sexually unhinged (possibly NSFW). And now “Larry Clark” the first American retrospective of Clark’s work, currently on display at the International Center of Photography, demonstrates the richness with which he’s mined this single subject (NSFW). More inside.

Smarty Quotes 03/11/2003 09:43 AM
Nelson Minar rages against the dying of design, in his summary of a discussion with Cory Doctorow around using smart quotes and other typographic niceties in weblogs.

I want to use fancy Unicode characters like U+201C and U+201D ("smart quotes") in my blog. Cory hates that idea because non-ASCII characters behave badly when you paste them into your email or text editor and that they don't work well in RSS.

The underlying problem is an impedence mismatch between new Unicode oriented tech like the Web and XML and old ASCII oriented tech like email and text editors. Browsers and RSS readers should mediate between the two but software often gets it wrong.

This discussion continues a conversation on the SmartyPants plug-in I hacked together for Blosxom.

While compromising design for the sake of compensation for badly integrated technologies and encodings is not on in my book, some allowance must be made for the simple copy-n-paste. To that end, I've added a plainlink (txt) to my template alongside the permalink. This link leads to an utterly plain text (non-smarty) version of the story at hand.

Quotes of the week

Quotes of the week 06/05/2005 11:20 PM
Talk of Steve Jobs has been rampant over the past week in the technology world. Here are a few of the most interesting quotes about Steve Jobs, Apple and Apple products recently found around the web. "The world would soon learn that Jobs wasn’t just joining the revolution; he was about to reshape it." - Jeffrey S. Young and William L. Simon, The Times Online "iCon fails as biography. Maybe that's the real reason that Jobs, perfectionist that he is, won't let it be sold in his company's stores. It's not good enough." - Hiawatha Bray, The Boston Globe "If you haven't got a CPU at home worth writing about, then Steve Jobs has a real gem for you - and it's about the size of a shoe." - Brian Dukes, Up & Coming Weekly "Behind the euphoria generated by the iPod, the skills of its industrial designers and charisma of chief executive Steve Jobs, Apple is quietly burrowing into the enterprise, buoyed by the Unix base of its still relatively new operating system." - Garry Barker, Sydney Morning Herald "By obeying the terms of KHTML's open source license, Apple is upholding every ideal it was asked to uphold. If the KHTML team now feels there are still more ideals they'd like upheld, they should adjust their licensing terms." Neil  McAllister, Infoworld "More iPods are bargain-priced these days and could be cutting into sales of Apple's premium products. There is also no evidence that young iPod users will be any more interested in a Macintosh computer than anyone else is." - Andrew Leckey, Tribune Media Services columnist "I started playing with it, and I don't know, you get kind of hooked on Macs. They have an appeal that never leaves." - Jeremy Seftor, general manager of Capitol Mac, an Apple Computer Inc. reseller and service provider on West Main Street in Richmond

PICASSO,
SVP

PICASSO,
SVP 01/07/2004 01:35 PM

Last April Robin Good wrote an article on his blog called 'Side by Side', about the need for what I've called Simple Virtual Presence technology. One of the services of my new business Meeting of Minds will be the Personal Collaboration Technologies Suite:A set of intuitive desktop tools that allow front-line workers to see and hear each other and to work together without having to be in the same room. SVP is a critical component of this suite. The key is that they must be simple -- connecting must be as easy as making a phone call. And once connected, you need to be able to work with the other person as effectively as if you were in the same room. The same Simple Virtual Presence technology should enable you to dial into conferences you cannot attend in person. Here's a rough spec for what Simple Virtual Presence technology should offer: One click dialing: A single click to the other person's or conference's address should provide full default multi-media connectivity, with no further 'configuration' needed. 'Who you see is who you get'. Connectivity should have three simultaneous 'viewpoints': sound and image of the other person him/herself, sound and image of what the other person is looking at/listening to, and a third 'backchannel' for sidebar communications. The default configuration might look like the image above. For SVP at a conference, the picture at left would be the person physically at the meeting you are 'channeling', the picture at right would be the speaker or his/her presentation material, and the 'backchannel' would be the sidebar discussions with other physical and virtual attendees of the conference. A pointer to show what you are specifically talking about. The analogue between physical and virtual presence is simple and intuitive: Two visual and two audio channels replace your physical eyes and ears, and the pointer replaces your finger. The backchannel gives you multitasking capability that puts you in exactly the same position with SVP that you would have with physical presence, all with a single click. All of the technology to do this exists now. It's just a matter of combining and simplifying it. And not much accommodation is needed at the other end either: A camera & mic on each laptop that can be swiveled to show either the user or what he/she is looking at, and a 'whiteboard' that shows the document the person at the other end is working on, or the document the presenter at the conference is talking about. What's critical is resisting the temptation to add a lot of bells and whistles. A virtual meeting should be, must be, no more complicated than a physical one, if it's to be embraced by the business mainstream. Robin calls this simple functionality 'Side by Side'. I think it's even a bit richer than that: I'd call it Side-by-Side & Face-to-Face. If that sounds a little larger than life, perhaps it is. So my suggested brand name for SVP technology? Why, Picasso, of course.

Great RSS Quotes from My Aggregator

Great RSS Quotes from My Aggregator 12/24/2004 12:58 PM

• RSS: a Shift, from What...to What?
  "He also neatly sort of answers his own question - with greater precision than I can ever muster - by saying: 'If I visit houses of content, as I seem to do on the Web, that is very different than the content as “visitor” to my house.'... What we’re seeing is the creation of personalised information hypermarkets.... Over time, you develop a rich cocktail of sources and you develop a new habit for browsing information. Some things you look at hourly, some daily, and some you deliberately save till Friday pm for a catch up. This is light years away from sitting down at the table in the morning looking at your paper, or even your paper’s website.”
   
• RSS and Blog Directories
  "Inspired by The Media Drop's list of newspaper RSS feeds, I thought I'd compile a list of RSS directories. Enjoy and spread the link."
   
• Newsmap as a Model for Smart Aggregation
  "Information overload. It’s the next big issue in publishing, and technology in general. The day you have 400 e-mails in your inbox, 900 new items in your RSS aggregator, and 8 Instant Messenger windows on your screen will come. For some people, it’s already here.... The key to our information gathering lives is all about smart aggregation. The days of media companies deciding what’s on your 'front page' are numbered. Within five years, I believe customizable newsreader technology (whether client-side like Net News Wire, or server-side like Bloglines), will be as prevalent as the web is right now."
   
• 500 down, 3061 to go
  "At the beginning of this week I had 310 feeds showing around 25,000 unread posts. I had toyed with the idea of declaring RSS bankruptcy and just starting again, but I was getting increasingly unhappy with chaotic state of my feeds and deep down I knew that hitting 'mark all posts read' would do nothing to solve the problem in the long run."

Choice SxSW quotes

Choice SxSW quotes 03/19/2005 02:35 AM

My American adventure is ongoing; I'm still in Austin at the moment, but I'll be off to Washington D.C. in a few days and there's a small chance I'll get there via Dallas. This doesn't leave much opportunity for online shenanigans, but there were a few things from SxSW that really needed a mention. The conference, as ever, was awesome - if not for the panels then certainly for the socialising. If anything I stretched myself too thin this year trying to keep up with the Brit Pack, the WaSP crew, some ex-colleagues from Lawrence and the people I met in San Francisco back in May.

I met a lot of new people this year as well. Since David Nunez had pointed out that "what do you do?" was a bit of a dull opening question (not to mention a conversation killer for people who dislike their job) I stuck with "So what are you excited about?" instead. It worked pretty well - I got a whole bunch of great answers, with the most random probably coming from the guy who was excited about mopeds (it turned out he runs the world's number one moped site).

The most entertaining panel by far was the Home Star Runner one, in which the Brothers Chaps finally revealed the secret to their animation success: motion capture! I'll have to post a few pictures once I get back on a high speed 'net connection; suffice to say the constant laughter from the room was heard throughout the convention center.

Anyway, on to the quotes. The first two are from Jacob Kaplan-Moss:

PHP is like a beautiful woman... with syphilis

Maintaining badly written code is like trying to solve a crossword puzzle set by someone who can't spell

I also like this one from Jeremy Dunck, who was justifying sharing your ideas with people at the conference despite the risk of other people implementing them first:

It's like the lazyweb in meatspace

The credit for the last one goes (I think) to Yvonne Adams, who made the sage observation that:

South by South West is spring break for web geeks

It certainly is. See you all again next year!
